Day of the Tentacle has remained a classic for over 20 years with good reason and Day of the Tentacle Remastered is by far the best way to experience this wacky, zany, utterly crazy adventure. It’s admittedly starting to show it’s age but whether you’re a longtime fan or this is your first time visiting the mansion, this 1993 gem has stood the test of time beautifully. Read more

The story’s merit is a massive part of its acclaim. An evil Purple Tentacle drinks the polluted sludge of a local river and mutates, setting off to take over the world.

Reviews 2 Go just finished their review of the remaster of Day of the Tentacle. Here are their final thoughts:

"Day of the Tentacle Remastered is a take on what many think is one of the great classic adventure games of the market.

GamerKnights has done a full review of Double Fine's latest remastered point & click adventure game ,"Day Of The Tentacle".

"Day of the Tentacle was one of my favourite point-and-click games growing up, far outshining – in my opinion – the Monkey Island games that came before. I’d loved Threepwood, but Tentacle’s weird story, weirder characters and hilarious events and puzzles played perfectly to a strange little kid like me. Read more

Following the success of Grim Fandango Remastered, San Francisco-based studio Double Fine Productions have turned their attention to another Lucasart property – the cult classic point and click sci-fi / comedy / adventure game Day Of The Tentacle, which was originally released in 1993 (under the full title Manic Mansion 2: Day Of The Tentacle). Anyone who’s played a Lucasart game in the past will know what to expect – a quirky game that couples abstract puzzle solving with a bizarre plot and off the wall sense of humour. Read more

Des says "For anyone who played the point and click games from the mid 90’s will know how important the Day of the Tentacle was for the genre. It moved the entire genre forward and even after 23 years since the original release, it holds a very special place in my gaming memories. But, how does the remaster hold up against the original? Does it still contain the same charm that made me fall in love with it back then? Only time will tell!" Read more
